BSU, Socratics Lose Charters
Appeals Go Before Board
By Joe Pinkerton
Assistant Editor
"We did what we had to do." stated
Martha South, chairman of the ASB
Activities Board, concerning that organization's decision to revoke the charter of
two of the most prominent clubs on
campus.tAfter what was termed as "a lot
of discussion" the charters of the Socratic
Club and the Baptist Student Union were
revoked by a voice vote of the board's
bi-monthly meeting on Nov. 2.
The Activities Board, which consists
of: one representative from each class,
one representative from each chartered
club or organization, one married student
representative from Lancer Arms, the
ASB Activities Director, and a representative from the cheerleading squad, is
given the authority by the ASB Constitution to approve and revoke clubs' and
organizations' charters.
The decision was made to revoke the
charters when it was found that neither
the Socratic Club nor the B.S.U. had sent
a representative to any Activities Board
meetings this year despite being sent
notices after each missed meeting.
Article 4, Section 6, Clause 3, Sub-
Clause A of the ASB Constitution states,
"A club or organization shall be defined
as delinquent and its charter shall be
revoked when: It has failed to be represented in any three Activities Board
meetings, or two consecutive Activities
Board meetings in one semester. After
seeing this, many board members felt
they had no choice but to revoke the
charters. "The rules were very plainly
written and we hadn't seen hide nor hair
of them all year." said one representative
on the board.
Besides no longer being a recognized
club on campus loss of the charter takes
away the club's representation on the
Activities Board, coverage and publicity
in the college yearbook and newspaper
and the right to use college facilities.
Both clubs were expected to appeal
the decision to the Judicial Board on
Monday, Nov. 9; but at the time of press
the results from these appeals were not
yet available.
Dr. Wayne Swindall, advisor of the
Socratic Club, when asked about future
plans, said the club intends to abide by all
rules of the school, however, Swindall
stressed, "We'll keep functioning regardless. If we have to, we'll publish our own
newspaper and yearbook. We're the
hardest working club on campus and all
our members are dedicated."
Swindall wonders if the decision will
hinder the efforts of the Socratic Club to
bring special speakers on campus. A
project the club had been involved in for
some time.
Swindall also questioned the Activities
Board practice of sending the absentee
notices to the advisors instead of the club
officers." They had a list of our officers
and the officers are the ones responsible
for attending the meetings."
Regarding the clubs appeal Swindall
simply stated. "I hope it is remembered
when the appeal is made that the
weightier matter of the law is justice,
mercy and faithfulness."
Finally . . . Swindall posed a technical
question, "If a class officer failed to
attend two consecutive meetings would
his or her entire class be ostracized from
the rest of the school? Would the entire
class be taken out of the yearbook?

Yule Set for Dec. 3
What comes in December besides Santa
Claus?|If you guessed the annual CBC
Yule, you got it. The traditional event
will be held this year at the beautiful
Balboa Pavillion overlooking scenic
Newport Beach on Thursday, December
third. Picture taking, which costs five
dollars, will begin around 6:30 and the
Yule is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m..
This years theme will be "Christmas by
the Sea."
The Yule is a formal Christmas banquet some what like a high school prom.
Many students feel that the Yule is the
highlight of the entire year. In the past it
has been held at the Disneyland Hotel
and the L.A. Hilton. Entertainment has
included Isaac Airfright and David Niece.
This year's entertainment will be provided by Steve Archer of the "Archers."
One highlight will be the crowning of
Mr. and Miss CBC. Four nominees of each
set are selected by the Senior Class, with
the basis for selection being overall
contribution to the school. The entire
school will then vote for Mr. and Miss
CBC on December 1 and 2.
Other traditions of Yule include the
giving of Yule Logs and keepsakes. The
Yule Logs which are a bundle of twigs
wrapped in a ribbon may be used to
communicate many things. An entire log,
given to your date, means love forever. A
broken log means . . . well we all know
what that means. The keepsakes are also
very special and can be kept as momentos
for years to come. Last year they were
ornaments embossed with the event and
the date.
Tickets for this very special event went
on sale Monday at 11 a.m. If you haven't
already gotten yours, the ASB suggests
you rush to the ASB office and get in line
as good seats are very limited. Tickets are
$12.50 per person and singles are encouraged to attend. Donna Nobles, ASB
president, suggests that groups would be
fun.
